News and Notes from latest Ross Report - 7/26 Submitted by Adam Martin on Friday, July 26, 2002 at 4:11 PM EST
- Here are some news and notes from the latest Ross Report:
Ross puts over that he has been in Los Angeles since Tuesday helping evaluate the new contestants for Tough Enough 3.
Ross mentions that it has been a very scary and challenging week for Chris Kanyon. Chris was hospitalized to drain his infected shoulder and was then moved a day later to the intensive care unit due to breathing problems involving fluid in his lungs. As of Friday, the fluid from his lungs are believed to be gone. It is still not known what caused the fluid in his lungs but he will be held for observations over the weekend.
Randy Orton is recovering well from his concussion and should be fine in a few days.
Kane is expected to be cleared to return to the ring by the end of July.
Triple H looks to return to in-ring action in early August after recovering from his elbow surgery.
Maven is expected to be cleared to return to the ring in a few weeks after suffering a broken fibula.
Lita will be able to remove her hard collar neck brace unless she is involved in exercising or driving.
Ross puts over a "superb week" of WWE TV starting with Vengeance on Sunday.
Ross said quote, "Michael Cole and Tazz, who certainly deserved the opportunity to broadcast at Vengeance, did an outstanding job with their half of the show, also." This comes as news due to the rumors going around with both Jim Ross and Jerry "The King" Lawler not being happy with sharing broadcast time with Michael Cole and Tazz at Vengeance.
Ross mentions that B.J. Payne, Flash and Sharmell Sullivan have all been removed from the WWE's developmental roster.
Jerry "The King" Lawler's biography is expected to be released in December.
Work is being done on Hulk Hogan's biography and a release date has yet to be announced.
